Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to Internet electronic commerce, and in particular to registration with a web server by a user visiting the web server.
- a typical electronic commerce (eCommerce) web site allows a consumer, logging onto the web site from a client data terminal, such as a personal computer (PC) or a workstation, to purchase goods or services offered by the company maintaining the web site.
- a web site typically requires that the consumer login with the web server that is actually hosting the site.
- the “login” process usually means that the consumer provide registration information, such as a name, address, telephone number, and electronic mail (email) address, before the consumer is able to access the services offered by the web site.
- the consumer's registration information is stored in a database maintained by the host server, and in response to receiving the information the host server typically provides the consumer with a unique personal identifier, such as a personal identification number (PIN), that is associated with the stored information.
- PIN personal identification number
- an eCommerce web site it is not uncommon for an eCommerce web site to include one or more computer input marks, such as an icon or a textual phrase, that allows a consumer visiting the web site to connect to a second, perhaps unrelated web site hosted by a second web server.
- the consumer is again required to login at the second web site, again providing registration information and receiving, in return, a second personal identifier.
- the consumer is again required to login to the second web site, providing at least the second personal identifier if not additional registration information. Requiring the consumer to repeatedly provide extensive information every time a consumer links to an eCommerce web site via another eCommerce web site is cumbersome and inconvenient to the consumer.
- some web servers store on a client data terminal (the consumer's PC) small data files, (also referred to as “objects”) known as “cookies.”
- client data terminal the consumer's PC
- small data files also referred to as “objects”
- the host server obtains registration information from the consumer and stores the registration information and/or an assigned personal identifier in a cookie that is stored on the client data terminal.
- the host server locates the cookie on the client data terminal and retrieves the registration information and/or personal identifier from the cookie, eliminating the need for the user to again provide the information or identifier.
- cookies by host servers has become so widespread that issues of consumer privacy and the storage of cookies on consumers' computers are topics of heated public debate. Some consumers even attempt to block the storage of cookies on their computers or disable cookies already stored there. Furthermore, cookies do not address the needs of the mobile user who often has access to computers spread over distances.
- An automated login process for a user connecting to a server, wherein the server is a first server of multiple servers that are connected via a computer network.
- the server receives a connection to the user via a client data terminal, receives an identifier associated with a second server of the multiple servers, and authenticates the user based on the identifier.
- the need for the user to input registration information or a personal identifier as part of the login process is eliminated.
- FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a computer data system in accordance with the present invention.
- FIG. 2 is a logic flow diagram of the steps executed by a web server in providing an automated login process in accordance with the present invention.
- FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a computer data system 100 in accordance with the present invention.
- a user at a client data terminal 102 such as a personal computer or a workstation, accesses each of multiple web servers 110 , 114 (two shown) via a data network 108 such as the Internet.
- Each of web servers 110 , 114 can be an HP 9000 K-series server or an HP 9000 Enterprise server available from Hewlett-Packard Company or any other web server or equivalent thereof, including for example, a network of computers or processors that are linked together, which is known art.
- Each of the web servers 110 , 114 is typically operated by, or at the behest of, a provider of goods or services and includes a registration system whereby a prospective purchaser of goods or services, or a previous customer (all of which are hereinafter referred to as a “user”) connects to the server and registers with the server and whereby the server authenticates the user upon subsequent visits by the user to the server.
- Each web server 110 , 114 stores one or more user interfaces, such as a web page, in a memory associated with the server. Each user interface provides a means by which a server 110 , 114 can exchange information with the user when the user is connected to the server via client data terminal 102 .
- Client data terminal 102 includes a processor 104 coupled to a memory 106 that stores instructions and programs, including a web browser application, that are executed by the processor.
- a user of client data terminal 102 establishes a connection to a web server 110 , 114 by activating the web browser stored in memory 106 and inputting a uniform resource locator (URL) corresponding to an Internet Protocol (IP) address of a web server 110 , 114 .
- URL uniform resource locator
- IP Internet Protocol
- the web browser then connects, via data network 108 , with the web server corresponding to the input URL.
- Many other methods are known for instructing a web browser to connect a client data terminal to a web server and may be used herein without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
- a user of client data terminal 102 connects to a web server, such as web server 110
- the user is typically requested by the web server to “login.”
- the login process typically requires that the user provide to the server (i.e., server 110 ) registration information, such as the user's name, post office address, telephone number, and electronic mail (email) address, or provide a personal identifier by which server 110 can authenticate the user.
- the server conveys to the user, via client data terminal 102 , a user interface. Included in the user interface is a request that the user login, that is, provide a personal identifier or registration information, and appropriate data fields for the input of the requested information.
- server 110 stores the received data, preferably in a user profile that server 110 creates in a registration database 112 that is included in or connected to the server.
- server 110 Upon receiving registration information from the client data terminal, server 110 generates a personal identifier that typically includes one or more symbols or alphanumeric values, such as a personal identification number (PIN) or password, that is associated with the registration information just received by server 110 from the user. Alternative embodiments might generate personal identifiers that are comprised of other combinations of words, phrases or the like.
- Server 110 stores the personal identifier, preferably in the user's profile, which is a data file in registration database 112 , and conveys the personal identifier to the user. Use of the personal identifier thereafter allows the user to expedite the login process when the user subsequently connects to server 110 , wherein the user need only provide the personal identifier to server 110 instead of again providing registration information.
- PIN personal identification number
- server 110 Upon receiving registration information from the client data terminal, server 110 generates a personal identifier that typically includes one or more symbols or alphanumeric values, such as a personal identification number (PIN) or password, that is associated with the
- server 110 Upon receiving the personal identifier from the user during such subsequent connections, server 110 then authenticates the user by searching for, and locating, a matching personal identifier in registration database 112 .
- the user is considered to be authenticated.
- a computer input mark such as an icon or a textual phrase
- Selection of the computer input mark by the user causes the web browser running on client data terminal 102 to establish a connection to the second web server, that is, server 114 .
- Web server 110 is affiliated with web server 114 in the sense that web server 110 provides a means by which a user visiting web server 110 can connect to web server 114 .
- a “cookie” each time the user connects to server 114 via the hyperlink of server 110 , the user is required to login to server 114 by providing either registration information or a personal identifier.
- the present invention eliminates the need for the user to provide any login information when connecting to server 114 via the hyperlink of server 110 after going through a one-time registration process.
- Computer input marks are well known in the art.
- Computer input marks typically include an underlying URL associated with another file in the web server or with a file in another web server.
- Computer input marks typically further include an underlying instruction, executed by a web browser running on a client data terminal, to establish a connection between the client terminal and the server and file associated with the underlying URL.
- the computer input mark of the user interface of web server 110 further includes an underlying personal identifier, which personal identifier was assigned to the user by web server 110 , and an underlying provider identifier associated with web server 110 .
- the provider identifier allows the web server associated with the underlying URL, that is, web server 114 , to identify the affiliated web server that served as the source of the hyperlink, that is, web server 110 .
- processor 104 of client data terminal 102 establishes a connection between the terminal and server 114 via data network 108 , and conveys to server 114 the personal identifier and the provider identifier associated with server 110 .
- web server 110 may generate a user identifier that identifies both server 110 and the user, that is, which functions as both a provider identifier and a personal identifier.
- the computer input mark includes an underlying user identifier, instead of the personal identifier and the provider identifier.
- server 114 conveys to the user, via client data terminal 102 , a user interface that includes a request that the user login, that is, provide a personal identifier or registration information.
- the user interface further includes data fields whereby the user can input the requested information.
- the user then inputs the requested data (i.e., the registration information when logging onto server 114 for the first time) into the user interface and conveys the data to server 114 .
- Server 114 stores the registration information, along with the personal identifier and provider identifier associated with server 110 , in a registration database 116 included in or connected to server 114 .
- server 114 requests and obtains the user's consent to use information obtained from server 110 .
- Server 114 also generates and stores a personal identifier that is associated with the user's registration information.
- the registration information, the personal identifier and provider identifier associated with server 110 , and the personal identifier generated by server 114 are all stored in a user profile that is created by server 114 in registration database 116 .
- Server 114 also conveys the personal identifier generated by server 114 to the user.
- the present invention provides a transparent login process for the user when he or she subsequently reconnects to web server 114 via the computer input mark included in the user interface of web server 110 .
- server 114 again receives from client data terminal 102 the personal identifier and provider identifier that underlie the computer input mark.
- Server 114 searches registration database 116 for a personal identifier and provider identifier that match the received identifiers, which matching identifiers are stored in the user's profile.
- server 114 Upon locating the previously stored, matching identifiers, server 114 authenticates the user and permits the user access to one or more services provided by the server.
- Server 114 can also retrieve, from database 116 , the user's stored registration information and personal identifier generated by server 114 based on the personal identifier and provider identifier conveyed by terminal 102 .
- server 110 generates, and conveys to a user, a personal identifier ‘X’ when the user first registers with the server.
- a computer input mark of a user interface of server 110 includes a hyperlink to server 114 and further includes the personal identifier ‘X’ and a provider identifier ‘Y’ that is uniquely associated by server 114 with server 110 .
- server 114 When the user then connects to server 114 via the computer input mark of server 110 , the user's client data terminal 102 conveys to server 114 the personal identifier ‘X’ and the provider identifier ‘Y.’ Server 114 then requests and receives registration information from the user and stores the registration information, along with the personal identifier ‘X’ and the provider identifier ‘Y,’ in a profile of the user in registration database 116 . Server 114 also generates a personal identifier ‘Z’ that is also stored in the user's profile in database 116 .
- server 114 After receiving the reconveyed identifiers ‘X’ and ‘Y,’ server 114 searches registration database 116 for a stored ‘X’ and a corresponding stored ‘Y.’ Upon locating the stored ‘X’ and ‘Y’ in the user's profile in database 116 , server 114 authenticates the user and permits the user access to one or more services provided by server 114 .
- the present invention eliminates the need for the user to provide any data when logging onto server 114 after going through a one-time registration process.
- System 100 thereby presents the user with a seamless transition from server 110 to server 114 , eliminating any need for the user to stop and provide any login information such as registration information or a personal identifier.
- FIG. 2 is a logic flow diagram 200 of a method for providing automated registration for a user connecting to a server, wherein the server comprises a first server of multiple servers that are connected via a computer network.
- the method starts ( 201 ) when the first server receives ( 202 ) a connection from the user for a first time.
- the connection is established as a result of the user selecting a computer input mark of a second server of the multiple servers, which computer input mark includes a hyperlink to the first server.
- the first server requests that the user to login.
- the first server receives ( 203 ) an identifier associated with the second server, which identifier preferably identifies both the user and the second server.
- the server may receive both a provider identifier associated with the second server and a personal identifier assigned to the user by the second server.
- the first server further receives ( 204 ) registration information from the user.
- the first server then stores ( 205 ) the received identifier and the registration information, preferably in a user profile that the first server creates in an associated registration database.
- the first server receives ( 206 ) a second connection with the user as a result of the user again selecting the computer input mark of the second server.
- the first server further receives ( 207 ) the identifier associated with the second server, or alternatively receives both the provider identifier associated with the second server and the personal identifier assigned to the user by the second server.
- the first server then authenticates ( 208 ) the user based on the identifier, preferably by locating a matching identifier that was previously stored in the registration database, and the logic flow ends ( 209 ).
- the step of authentication ( 208 ) includes the steps of authenticating the user based on the identifier and allowing a user access to a service provided by the first server.
- the present invention provides an automated login process for a user logging onto a host server via an affiliated server.
- the host server is provided, by the user's client data terminal, a provider identifier and a personal identifier associated with the affiliated server.
- the provider identifier and the personal identifier are then stored by the host server in a registration database associated with the host server, along with registration information provided by the user.
- the user's client data terminal again provides the provider identifier and personal identifier to the host server.
- the host server is then able to authenticate the user by matching the received provider identifier and personal identifier with the provider identifier and personal identifier stored in the registration database, without requiring any data to be input by the user.
- the present invention provides a login process that is seamless and transparent to the user, yet does not use a cookie.
